In Episode 9, Mike and Nate, along with returning guest Kevin Dushney and special guest Bob Litterer (CISO at Teradyne), discuss Chapter 10 of the IT Survival Guide, which is focused on the philosophy and initial activities behind the construction of a security stack at your new company. Though this chapter was written in late 2019, the paradigm introduced is still a pivotal moment in the start of your IT journey. Bob helps us uncover new insights into other considerations when it comes to security and how the industry at large is evolving.
We take a deep dive into AI as a pure revenue concept (which it is) and how one day it may be used for the betterment of humankind, how far away we may be from an alternative Hollywood, and the other usual stuff.
